scene bucket #6

kristin: what if percy could sing

under the water?

like...sirens?

marion: :o

kristin: but like, he can't above water.

but when he's under it

it's like...

marion: oof-

like in harry potter!

kristin: idk

what happnes

marion: the merpeople's song is beautiful underwater

kristin: ok

marion: but in air it just sounds like high-pitched screaming XD

kristin: yeah like that!

but under the water it's like the best singing any of them has ever heard

marion: aw

so no one hears it except annabeth and no one believes her

kristin: oh gods yes

UNTIL

one day when they're under the water and they need a song to open a door

(kinda like in TLO/hadestown)

marion: ooh

kristin: ooooh

wait

but then Piper could just sing

marion: ew piper

kristin: cus i have a feeling unless he needs to, he won't sing

marion: piper cant sing

piper cannot sing

what would she sing???

kristin: pretty sure it’s canon

marion: no matter what she sings it has charmspeak tho

kristin: like, she sings summertime

marion: so...

kristin: right???

marion: she could accidently do something to the others with charmspeak tho

kristin: oooh yeah, okay

so Percy has to do it

marion: percy's just oh ok

kristin: sighs real deeply

(but wait, why are they underwater?)

marion: idk

kristin: eurhguh...so maybe they're on the Argo

and somebody/something throws them overboard? so i need a monster

a greek monster

y'know any?

marion: chimaera? arai

kristin: like, he hasn't fought, mayb?

that they would find

on a boat?

marion: khione and the ice spirits mebbe?

he wasnt there for that

kristin: hmmm

so like, i need something that's gonna throw the seven (and hedge?) overboard

marion: KYM

kristin: OOH

so like, an AE, or just like, revenge?

marion: revenge as a screw you to her half-brother and bc she hasnt gotten her figurine yet

kristin: HAH

took you too long, little brother

marion: she demands a better advertising campaign

kristin: and now she demands assistance

as insurance

this time, the storms stronger

marion: oohoohooh

kym is mad

kym is real mad

kristin: yes and guess what?

she throws 'em overboard, and Percy has to make airbubles (like he did with Jason)

marion: ah, wait

you mean with annabeth

jason summoned a storm spirit i think

kristin: OH! Right

marion: vent...us?

kristin: pfft

marion: vent ai?

kristin: Dylan

marion: something

yeah him

kristin: (hah)

which kinda wears him out, just a bit, by the end of it, because he has to do it a long time

(the airbubbles)

marion: true

he has to keep cycling air for these pathetic non-sea people

kristin: xD

he just complains about it the whole time

"stupid mouth breathers"

marion: can't you just breath like a normal person

kristin: pfftt

marion: we are normal people you're the half-fish guy

he gasps, all indignant. "I am not half fish"

"then what in Hades names are you, Percy?"

marion: half-...

kristin: "Annabeth, you're supposed to be on my side!"

marion: which side? the human one or the fish one?

kristin: xDD

marion: -_-.

kristin: pfft

but like, she sends them down to this place

Wait?

which body of water are they in?

where are they?

i'm trying to be as accurate as possible here

marion: hmoshenhahoce

kristin: ANancient lands?

marion: idk

assuming they're on the argo? the middle of the atlantic ocean probably

kristin: okay, cool

hold on.

so part of the war world 2

there was this big battle in the atlantic right?

marion: erm

i think

kristin: (yes, it's true, i wikid it)

basically there was submarines for the navy and stuff, and some of them like sunk

so...i'm thinking if she lead them into one of those, right?

marion: hm

trap them in a subright

sounds like kym

kristin: xD

except

there's a problem

you wouldn't need to sing to open a submarine door

marion: hMMmmMMM

kristin: maybe like...magic?

but idk how far that goes…

marion: magik

DOOOH OOHOOH

kristin: what?

marion: magik activated by something dumb like the song of the sea

or something

kristin: yeah yehayeah

okaokay

so...how does she do it though?

like, she just does storms and stuff.

marion: eruhha

oops

i have no clue

i know there's a lot of minor sea deities

kristin: yeah

marion: but i know nothing about them

kristin: hold on lemme do the google

marion: keurgh

kristin: Are you serious?!? Google says there are 270 water gods. 270.

marion: 😐

kristin: *sigh* okay

what is the goddess? of magic

marion: ok den

hecate

kristin: Right

so...idk maybe like (it's a stretch, for sure)but maybe like she pairs up with like a child of hecate?

or smth, idk....hm

marion: hecate joined kronos? i think? or gaea

uhm

kristin: Kronos

marion: so maybe hecate herself would help

she was mad b/c she wanted recognition

kristin: yeah, but she also helped the seven, right

like taught Hazel how to do the whole magiked thing

right?

with her farting weasel

marion: hmuH

yes

dang it

but,she can't control her children?

so...?

so kym says she can give hecate recognition!

kristin: okay

right bc kym wants recognition too

yeah yeah

and she uses her whole "figurine" as bait

she's like oh yeah, these demigods promised

y'know. we're gonna get recognition.and at first, maybe the kid (his name is....shawn,,,)he's like, i dunno man

but Kym's like oh no you won't have to kill them. we won't even hurt them

we just have to remind them of their promise

marion: ooh kreepy kym

remind zem of zer promize

kristin: so, kym and sean (?)...yeah, sean

marion: oof

kristin: kym and sean

dum-dum-duuuuum

marion: kim and sean

kristin: anyways

The seven swim down there, with an annoyingly complaining Percy, and uh-they get down there, right.

and they go into this old submarine, that's mostly intact

except, there are holes and rips and stuffs so it slowly sunk

marion: and it demands magik like ursula stealing a voice

kristin: right

before they go in? or after when they try to leave?

marion: tryint to leave probably

kristin: yeah, maybe she's got the Argo somewhere

so, like she stoled it?

marion: yeah

kristin: and they go in, and Sean closes the doorway, when they enter. they're locked in (because they don't know how to open it yet)

sorry, got distracted

marion: oooh maybe it gets real dark in there, so they like can't see anything

at first

kristin: (ugh sorry)

marion: and they're paniking and percy's trying to tell them he wont let them drown

kristin: yeah

like, he's like slightly internally panicking b/c

y'know drowning.

but, he's just trying to reassure them.

(im sorry, i'm typing something)

marion: true

but, he's like, guys, guys, calm down

he's like i swear i wont let you drown while internally what if i drown

kristin: yeah

and then maybe Leo says something like"we can't see, aquaman. why aren't you freaking out?"and maybe he's freaking out the worst, because he's got fire powers?

marion: and water stops fire and he's fire oh no what if the water isn't good for him 'im useless underwater fire is light and we need light but fire cant exist underwater

kristin: 'leo, calm down, if water wasn't good for you you'd be dehydrated’

Wait

remember that scene in TLT where he's underwater

and he the lighter still burns?

marion: hmoh yeah

and he's like leo look

kristin: buddy, there's a thing i can do

and at first he's not listening he's just nonoono this isn't good

marion: 'frick no the one thing i can do and the one time we really need it i cant do it'

kristin: "leo!"

"What?!

"calm down"

"Well, he's got a point" annabeth says

and Percy's about to lose it, "Just listen! For a minute!"

marion: One minute

kristin: haha

marion: all i ask

one. minute.

kristin: if like

Leo was like

"Well, we're actually trying to figure it out. you're just sitting there telling us to stop talking"

"Yeah, how are we supposed to figure it out if we can't talk" Hazel points out

marion: -_-

kristin: xD

"stupid mouth breathers"

marion: normies

kristin: can't you just breathe like i do

frank overhears his little rant

"What like a fish?"

Percy just fixes him with this look

like, really?

marion: was that necessary

kristin: "GUYS!" he finally says

marion: really, frank

kristin: (haha, yeah)-also kym and seans just watching them like, idiots-

marion: "what!?!"

(vivid memory of the beginning of drive- GUYS! WE JUST EXPLODED A BUS)

kristin: (Hahahaha)

"ALL I HAve to do is hold Leo's hand"

silence

marion: aw how sweet-

kristin: "Shut up, Piper?

marion: hA

kristin: "Perce, man you know I love you but, I don't swing that way"

"No, LEo!"

Annabeth just snorts

marion: percy's so done

kristin: why am i here i could just let them drown

marion: *sigh* (er, as well as you can sigh underwater)

kristin: (hA)

"Look, when i was twelve, after a jumped off the arch,"

he looks at Annabeth, and she nods

(the others are like, What?!)

marion: what-THE arch????

kristin: What Arch??!

as in the gateway arch???

wHenwHY

kristin: "Unimportant"

"WHAT?!

marion: un-unimPORtANt

kristin: pfft he says something snarky like

"i was in a really bad place at the time, okay,"

and Annabeth starts laughing, while the others just stare at him wide-eyed

"Anyways, I was at the bottom of the ocean, and there was this slimy McDonalds rag-"

Hazel's like, "What's McDonalds"

marion:...wha-hazel how do you not know what mcdonalds is? your brother is nico

kristin: xDD ooh maybe Piper, who doesn't know about Hazel's past is just like

What?!

like-what-

Percy sighs, again (?) am i ever gonna get through this?

marion: who knows

the others are intent on not letting him, apparently

kristin: oh, look i'm talking to myself again

marion: pfft

kristin: "Do you want me to drown you guys?"

marion: panicked cries

kristin: "PErcy! We're literally under the water, with only you being the thing keeping us alive

You CANNOT

joke about that?"

marion: >:)

yes he can

kristin: >:}

and yes he will

"Then shut up and let me talk

for gods' sake."

"Or, for your sake,"

marion: not the timE

let me finish

kristin: hAh

"ANYWAYS" he grits out

"I lit this match, right"

"Why would you do that? you were underwater. that's the dumbest idea I've ever heard."

marion: lighter, i think

kristin: *oops

"LEO VALDEZ! I swear on my mother's life that if you don't SHUT UP

I will go over there and strangle you with my bear hands, and I won't even let you drown. I'll just do it"

marion: .-.

kristin: XD

marion: touchy

kristin: he growls."I lit this*lighter* and it wokred, okay?"

*worked

"So, maybe, if you guys shut up, and we get throgh this, we can tyr it with Leo"

marion: annabeth is like you never mentioned trying to commit arson at the bottom of a body of water? also how does that even work? percy just needs her to be quiet

kristin: x'D

next time I try to commit arson at the bottom of the mississippi river, i'll make sure you're there

you can be the subject of the arson.

marion: :o pfft

kristin: "Okay, but I still don't want to hold water boys hand"

"Would you rather die?" Frank asks, drily

marion: haha no

kristin: "that's what i thought"

"okay, but do you want to hold his han-"

"Leo, do it,"Annabeth says.

He just grumbles, "easy for you to say, you probably do it all the time," but does it anyway

marion: and his hand lights up!

kristin: !!!WOO!

Percy, you're a genius!

marion: oh nOW im the smart one

kristin: :D

pffft

"Ah, yes, I see you've finally figured it out"

an all-too-familiar voice says from behind them

marion: uhoh it's kYmkYm, kYm, the gArbAgE bIn

kristin: pfft

hahahah

where'd you hear that?!

xDD

marion: i made it up rn

kristin: imagine one of the seven saying that though(like jason, leo, or percy?)

marion: oh look it's kym, kym the garbage BIN leave us AlOnE

kristin: yeah, probably.

Jason glares at him like shut up, really?

there's a time and a place, man, a time and a place

marion: mom said not to start dumpster fires

LEO BE qUIET

kristin: "No, im kinda with Leo on this one"

"perCY!"

Kym just lets out her dolphin laugh (which *shiver*)

marion: ew

kristin: hA

marion: kym is his siter

kristin: i feel bad for him

marion: which is kind of strange

kristin: he has awful siblings (besides tyson whose awesome)

anyways, so that's when it gets serious

marion: :0

*gasp*

kristin: what?!

marion: it gets s e r i o u s

kristin: haHA

Leo wants his boat back, and really they just need the boat backlike, y'know don't want the mother earth destroying the world

marion: kym is just upset

kristin: yeah, like i just want my stuff,

marion: mad at being called a dumpster fire

kristin: yeah, that too xD

"What do you want, Kym?" Jason asks

marion: i was going to say my figurine but now…

kristin: ReVeNgE (cue maniacle laughter)(pfft, idk)

marion: hAHAHHhhHhHHAHHAHA

percy: oh wow what a new plot

kristin: (less maniacle, more dolphin, he mutters)

marion: lol

kristin: (Percy's not too happy about this, because he remembers last time)

marion: percy wants to leave

kristin: yeah, rly

marion: but apparently his mentally disturbed half-sister demands revenge

kristin: *which one?*

marion: oh, the one with the dolphin laugh

kristin: He just sighs, resigned, "Look, Kym, just give us our boat back, okay?"

"Why would I do that? I don't have my merchandise yet, and you're elf friend called me trash"

marion: everyone (bar jason and percy) is so confused-

merchandise??? what????

kristin: hahah really

Leo's also slightly indignant

marion: elF-

kristin: "Who you callin elf, lady? you're one to talk you sound like a dolphin." Jason and Percy wince, because last time that was mentioned....oof.

Annabeth notices them and she's like, "You know this...her?"

percy: yeah she's my half-sister

annabeth: *sighs*

of course she is.

annabeth: honestly, percy you have the worst siblings

percy: ikr?!

marion: thalia: he's annoying, but i would never kill jason

hazel: nico is my brother! no way i'd ever hurt him!!!

percy: i can think of several siblings i would very much like to murder.

percy: not you, tyson. you're awesome.

percy: kym tried to kill me, tyson hates me, dolphin captain boy also tried to kill me...

not tyson i meant triton. triton hates him

tyson is a lovely peanut butter boi

kristin: xDD

Kyms like: "ANyways!!" as Percy just starts listing them off xD

marion: ANYWAYSSSSSS

kristin: pfft

okay, so like

if she uses her magiked powers to knock [enter name here] against the wall

kristin: oooh

The Lost Hero

IVLIVS was a gold coin which belonged to Jason Grace until its destruction in The Lost Hero.

I guess there was a guy named ivlis caesar

in rome

or smth

marion: ah

kristin: hM

anyways,

but sean intercepts and like blocks it?

(im so bad at this help)

and then they jab for a while

marion: hm

kristin: ikr

ffff

marion: merder???

kristin: pfft

stab stAB STAB

(is it possible to just skip and say they beat kym?)

marion: yes please

please

kristin: okay good

so after a lot of stabbies and persuading, kym finally lets them go?

marion: yes bc we suck at fight scenes

kristin: Exactly.

she's like, "if you don't get my action figure in the manufacturing phase by next month, i'm gonna eat you"

"or something"

but, what they don't know is that she's got one last trick up her sleeve.

marion: uh oh

Boom!

explosion

(jk, its a magic door)

marion: magik dooroororor

doorororo

kristin: she and her friend leaves, in a poof of smoke (curtesy of sean)

and the seven are left

bruised and slightly beat up.

underwater in a submarine

marion: welp

kristin: percy shrugs he's like, "okay, let's go"

and the others shrug and nod

and then

marion: why- why isn't it openin

pull not push mebbe?

it's not working

what do you mean it's not working

i mean it's not working what do you think i mean

let me try

see i told you it's not working

kristin: well, maybe we need to like warm it up?

is there a key somewhere?

a pass code?

fingerprints?

marion: nO there's nothing

there's always something maybe you broke the handle

there was never a handle!

kristin: then how did it open?!

i dunno...it just did

marion: then why. isn't it. OPENING

kristin: i. don't. KNOW.

after several (failed) attmepts, Annabeth growls, and kicks the door.

marion: ow

kristin:(right) doesn't do much, obviously, so they all sit down to think.

well, is there someway we've got to activate it?

like, i dunno. pipes try charmspeaking it.

"it's a door. you really think you can charmspeak a door?"

"hey, she did it with festus. who knows"

marion: yeah it worked with festus right it should work here

...

nothing happens

kristin: eURHG

marion: well what now

"i don't understand. did you guys break it?!"

marion: we can't sit here at the bottom of the ocean forever- no i didn't breAK iT

it's a massive door how would i even have broken it

everyone is just steadily getting more aggressive

kristin: I don't KNOW!

percy's getting a bit tired because of his bubble magik ,"guys, slow down, we're kind of on a time limit, here"

marion: oh frick yeah he's right

so we die if we dont open the dumb door

yes

uhm

kristin: just checking

marion: try...

uhM

kristin: try licking it

marion: what do we try next

kristin: "Leo WHAT?!"

marion: hey maybe that's all it needs

absolutely not

let's be reasonable

reasonable??? we're about to drown at the bottom of the ocean, reason has failed us all

kristin: percy has to sit down to calm down

* i meant cuz he's getting dizzy

marion: look i cant open the door, you cant open the door. how do we open the door

ok maybe it has to be a specfic person???

pfft yeah right specific person? it's a door it doesn't have preferences

kristin: hA

marion: well what's your grand ideea

kristin: ...

thought so.

so, who hasn't tried yet?

marion: could leo burn it???

kristin: burnnnn

marion: i dont even know who's talking anymore

kristin: yeah, i don't either lol

marion: leo just comes up and tries to burn it

wow that helped

hey at least im trying

look we need to calm down and no one is helping

does the door like- say anything???

kristin: also, i'm gonna pass out

the door has spoketh

marion: percy what the frick

you are literally the only reason we are alive rn don't you dare pass out

kristin: well, i won't do it on purpose

marion: percy i will punch you awake if necessary

kristin: he's breathing real heavy (what's wrong with you? i dunno, you try making seven huge bubbles for two hours under the water.)

-dik how long they've been there-

*idk pfft

marion: everyone is freaking out and jason is holding his breath

can someone please open the door so we can not drOWN

kristin: "okay, okay. frank you try opening it, since you haven't yet. or, better yet, try rhinocering it open"

"fairly certain that's not a verb"

"whatever, we're gonna die, man, just do it"

...

at first, y'know, it's letting up,

but it still doesn't open. it just dents it.

marion: fantastic now it probably wont open normally

hey it's progress

at least we tried

kristin: what else is there to do?!

marion: yeah well trying isnt going to keep us from drowning

what are we even going to do now just wait for our deaths

aw heck no im not dying by drowning with water boy here

that's just pathetic

kristin: "at this point, it is, because there's nothing else we can do, and percy looks about ready to die."

marion: *heavy breathing*

kristin:*pale*

*can't even stand upt at this point, probably*

marion: well time to say goodbye

i love you, frank

leo no

shut up

kristin: okay, okay

they sit there for another few minutes before piper speaks up

"okay, okay. anyone hear of like hadestown?"

and percy just weakly raises a hand

marion: ok then. uh

kristin: what's that/

*exhales frustratingly*

basically, this kid has to sing to a door.

"That's dumb"

"so is rinocering"

marion: annabeth : oh, is this about orpheus and eurydice?

kristin: yeasss

yeasss it it

*is

marion: ok ok i know what this is

kristin: "but wiat, you wanna sing to a door?!"

yeah yeah like that

kristin: *exhales frustratingly* again

"who here can sing"

marion: piper is disqualified she'd probably charm speak us into drowning early

uhm

kristin: i can't sing

leo's like absolutely not

marion: annabeth: maybe hazel? i can talk, but my singing is a dying seal

kristin: xD

(okay, i feel like under any other cicumstance, hazel can sing, but for these purposes, she can't)

marion: naw my throats dry, i forgot to drink some water before we left

kristin: pppftyeah, something

so, basically nobody can sig

*sing

marion: panik

kristin: panick

panikc

(anyways)

and they ask Percy's and he's like

"Im pretty sure if i tired to sing, i'd cause an avalnche"

marion: welp

kristin: there goes that

BUT

Annabeth remembers that one time they went under the sea together in an air bubble, and percy was muttering a song underneath his breath

and...

marion: :0

yeeeee

"Percy, wait,"

he looks up at her, with glassy eyes that are unfocused, "...yeah"

marion: ... *lethargic blink*

right

"you can sing under the water"

he can't comprehend it very well, but he thinks she knows what he's talking about, basically

marion: ...yes

"well, you should try it"

he is by no means in condition for singing

but unless they want to die, he has to

marion: *exhale* k

he probably starts humming, and then the door starts to creak

piper: OH MY STARS IT'S WORKING THAT WAS A JOKE

kristin: but, it's not gonna open all the way until he sings

so like he opens his mouth

and

woah

marion: ooh preetty voice wowow

kristin: (what's he singing. oooh, he should do something for hadestown. y'know, for ironic purposes)

(imagine him doing hey, little songbird xDD)

marion: hA

hm maybe... doubt comes in?

ooh or just hades' and persephone's melody

kristin: yeah, yeah

okay, okay

marion: and only piper recognizes it but it's still fantastic

kristin: like what? how?

"too bad you can't give underwater concerts"

marion: *wheeze*

*literal wheeze bc he's about to pass out so they need to get out right friggin now*

kristin: *like, right now*

marion: the door opens and they all flee while annie grabs percy and tugs him along

kristin: and they're like halfway up to the surface, and the bubbles burst.

marion: frickity frackity

kristin: clickity clackity

Leo freezes for a moment, but starts swimming faster than anyone else

marion: jason takes percy from annabeth and they're all panicking

like frick just a little while more

kristin: percy's slightly delirious

just muttering

just keep swimming,

just keep swimming

like dory

annabeth struggling not to laugh with her little oxygen left

kristin: xDD

like, if there can be tears under the ocean, she's got em

marion: percy: *wheezing hysterically and so out of it*

kristin: as soon as they break through he passes out

and jeez he's a lot heavier than he looks

marion: oh hey is that the argo ii????\

kristin: xDD

*unconcious*

marion: *unconscious muttering*

kristin: they splutter onto the argo, with an half delirious half unconscious percy, all of them soaked and out of breath.

and then, annabeth starts laughing

hysterically

and piper joins

(jesus, how the hell did that plan work) and leo joins

marion: hysterical laughter from everyone

and a thump as percy falls over

kristin: even percy, even if it does get cut off shortly

(he ends up in the infirmary for like twenty-eight hours)

(doesn't remember anything from like before he sings)

marion: he was so out of it

just

did... why do i remember finding nemo?

kristin: x'DD

fin

(sorry bad fish puns)

marion: nah bro that was fintastic

kristin: doesn't get any Beta than this

if you can think of a better one, let minnow

marion: im going to krill myself thinking of more i have no ideas

kristin: -we-should-probably-stop-pfft-

marion: probably
